My first card today features the beautiful 'Tis the Season Stamp Set. I stamped and heat embossed the image in white onto white paper, then colored it lightly and loosely with zigs. I then die cut the image with Stitched Mats: Circles as well as some bordering circles and layered them. I stamped and embossed the sentiment and the banner portion of the 'Tis the Season Stamp Set onto patterned paper and layered it over the circles. The focal point was mounted to a kraft card base that was background stamped, also with 'Tis the Season Stamp Set. I finished the card with a the beautiful Merry Christmas Word Die.

My next card is a wintery holiday scene...one like we might have in my town (without the houses so close together!)

For this card, I started by inking up a white panel with various shades of red and yellow distress inks, then stamped with white ink the beautiful snowflakes from Rustic Christmas. I splattered some white paint and coral distress ink over the panel. I then die cut the Merry Christmas Border Die from white cardstock, as well as various "hills" from the previously released Border Builders Die Set. I layered the snow hills onto the colored panel, glueing and tucking in the Merry Christmas, as it was easy to manipulate to match the curve (love this idea, and will be using it for the future!). I then stamped and colored lightly the house images from Rustic Christmas, and die cut them with the coordinating Rustic Christmas Dies. These were also tucked into the snow hills. After everything was attached, I die cut the panel with the largest rectangle from Stitched Mats: Rectangles and adhered it to a white card base.

Here's a look at the new release products showcased in my cards today:

It is my pleasure to send you along to the next fabulous designer on the hop,
